Exhaust outlet

I took mine for a drive to Sydney last weekend and as my exhaust dumps just after the diff, the fumes came in from the tailgate.
Just wondering where you guys have you outlets and does the exhaust gas come inside?
I have got a few idea's where to finish it but curious where yours are.

If you dont want the pipes out the back then dump them behind the rear wheels, have had the old chevy drops on a few vans and cars and never had any probs with fumes, had exhausts coming out infront of the rear wheels as well and no probs, had 2 Toranas with the pipes dropped at the diff and bad fume problems with both, eyes stinging, head spins, got the pipes finished to the rear and all was good.

I dont think ending the pipes at the diff is the best idea, make them point out somewhere so the fumes can really escape instead of the fumes dwelling under the van/car/ute.

Hope this helps you Craig.

Cheers Aaron.

OH YEH, check the gap between the upper and lower gates, if that rubber is perished then you will get that fumes smell ( just remembered my old crappy HQ Van 6 pac i had, rubber on the bottom of upper gate was shot and let every smell in ).

One of the ideas i have is to angle them out from under the rear corners.

Like this or dumping down ???

Very close to that but having a 45 degree angle and about 2 1/2" pipes.
You'd only see the end of the tips sticking out by about 2".

sounds good, wouldnt cost much to get it done.

What about when you drive with the taiul gate up??? Or do you?

What i'll do is have a hotdog facing in reverse before the diff and a hotdog facing the proper way under the rear quarter with a tip on the end of it.
Because i will angle it down HOPEFULLY it won't matter with the tailgate open.

I know you still get fumes in with the exhaust out the back as they get drawn in as you drive, but i dont know if you dump it behind the wheels???

The only other way i had in mind was to face it ouwards from behind the wheels.
Only seeing about 1" of the tips

Thats how the ones on the HG are like now, you only see a fraction of pipe.

that could work. How far back before the drivers door and passenger door do the dumps have to be???? Legal reasons?

Do you have any pics that show them Azza??

just checking now

I didn't mean tonight.
Looking at the time Azza, aren't you working tomorrow??

aha found 1, right near the drums, when the van is on all fours you can hardlly see them.

Fark go 2 bed seeya

I'm off too so

see ya.

Won't the fumes still want to come in the back even though the exhaust just sticks out the side??

didnt when i drove it home, couldnt smell a thing. Didnt drive with the gate up though.

I'll have a talk to my exhaust bloke once i sell the 4b and get the $$ for it.

Probably up to $200 to get it done in 2 1/2".
Booked in for 2nd October so thanks for the tips.
